5 out of 5 starsI had a portrait of my Mom's beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel done by Emma. Emma worked closely with me to learn exactly what I wanted, and the portrait was exactly as I expected it to be. The detail and colors are wonderful. Emma got the portrait to me in the timeframe she promised. You won't be disappointed working with Emma!

5 out of 5 starsThis is Reilley, my son's cat who passed away in his arms in 2010 at the age of 14. They were best buds. Emma perfectly captured the big guy's personality. He was sitting in the sunshine on the deck of my son's condo in Chicago. I had Emma draw this for my son's birthday & he loved it. Emma is so talented & the turn-around time is amazing. This is my second order & I'll definitely be getting more done. It's a beautiful way to memorialize a pet. Thanks, Emma!!

5 out of 5 starsEmma's composite drawing of Dakota is stunning. The kids were so excited we gifted it to their dad without framing. Everything about the ordering process was flawless. Besides being a most talented artist, Emma is very professional and considerate of her customers needs. I have copied the article from Midwest Living about Emma and given it to all my dog loving friends! Thank you Emma!

5 out of 5 starsI am so happy with the commissioned portrait I ordered! Emma captured the personality of our daughter's dog perfectly which made it the most perfect birthday gift! Emma's craftsmanship, quality and talent is amazing!! I was patiently walked through all problems I was having when ordering and I had many conversations with Emma so she could ensure I received exactly the portrait I wanted! The portrait was finished and sent earlier than estimated which I so appreciated. It was an overall outstanding experience to work with Emma and have her work as a family treasure now! I look forward to ordering commissioned portraits in the future!

5 out of 5 starsThe artist did a superb job capturing my pet dog in the drawing, and turned it around in less than one week! Very happy with the work, and the interactions made possible via Etsy!

The Show Ring; in a Portfolio
Welcome to the show ring and thanks for stopping by my shop!
It was on February 17, 2012, that I came up with this daring idea. I was 14 years old and a high school freshman.
To draw all of the AKC recognized breeds? Not just sketches, but dogs that could win Best in Show at any and every dog show? Dogs that would take hours of careful, artistic design to make beautiful?
Yes, and I still held to that commitment of perfection up until the moment I signed my name on the last breed. I was fully devoted to seeing each dog as worthy enough to become Best in Show and seeing the project complete December 31, 2013, I know it was worth it! Two years, 189 individual drawings, innumerable pencils, even more pencils shavings, and a whole lot of commitment later, this project is complete.
These dogs took longer then I anticipated, but equally they became so much more then I ever thought possible. God has blessed me so abundantly with a talent and love of drawing dogs, and I thank Him alone for it. Without His guiding Hand, I would never have come as far as I have. It is His power, not mine, which has allowed me to continue on and to complete it.
I have been featured in the AKC Family Dog magazine (March/April 2013), Midwest Living magazine (March/April 2015), and have also donated to several nationwide rescue organizations such as Mackenzie's Animal Sanctuary and DFW Pugs, the largest pug rescue in the nation.
